Famous quotes containing the word strange:
“A strange thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.”

Like a strange soul upon the Stygian banks
Staying for waftage.”

The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gain of our best glory shall be sent,
Tenrich unknowing nations with our stores?
What worlds in thyet unformed Occident
May come refined with thaccents that are ours?”
—Samuel Daniel (c.15621619)
